Lamps are the best way to brighten a space, don't you agree? Yet, styling them from humdrum to HELLO FABULOUS can sometimes be a little frustrating. These custom made to order shades add that pop of color and ambiance you're looking for when tying a room together. With four sizes to choose from and 2 stiff translucent fabrics, you're bound to find a standout to fit your room's mood! And, with the inner lining fire rated and the fitting ring made for standard light fixtures, what are you waiting for?
In the literal sense, a tapestry is a thick textile whose images and designs are created through weaving a fabric or an embroidering on a canvas. But, I’ve always had a romantic notion of the word like the rich tapestry of life or the fates weaving our destinies in their loom and such… then, there’s the beautiful patterns in handmade woven objects, from baskets to platters to rugs to blankets. Each culture, each region in the world with its own signature color palette and recognizable style, it’s just a magical expression of humanity. For example, in traditional Persian crafting, tapestries and rugs are created with a deliberate flaw because only Allah is the perfect creator. How profoundly striking is that a commentary on their relationship with their god, the world around them?
All of these thoughts and ideas informed my approach to this pieces. I tried to emulate the weaving on the canvas but also give it movement. I incorporated the deliberate imperfections from the Middle East, sometimes called the Persian flaw. I made my interpretation a little more pronounced for composition purposes and a visual rhythm to counterbalance an otherwise static, formal structure. I leaned into the greens, thinking on the tapestry of life and growth and water flowing, then pulled in reds for their complimentary vibrations. I finished the piece with a high gloss sheen that I don’t normally employ but it really brought out the physical texture of each row the paint had carved and gave more depth to the parts of the painting I’d pulled away for the “flaws”. This theme of weaving is something I play with in my work often, as a focal or even incidental component. This is the first time I’ve stripped the weaving theme in a painting down to the basics, almost representational in it’s execution. There’s something about this piece that I can’t find words for but it’s somewhere around simply satisfying.
Use duster and or vacuum gently with appropriate fitting.
